It was nice to finish with ZungryWare’s Devil Demo, which is not just the mod with the new monster but also a demo level that shows off its capabilities.

I’m not sure how I feel about the monster itself, though. Its big shtick is that it can target its missiles accurately at you even if it can’t see you, lobbing over walls and up and down levels. It’s certainly a novel addition, and I could see it working well when used in moderation. A whole map full of them, as here, is a bit exhausting, because it’s hard to find safe places to rest and plan.

About the Skaarj, I unfortunately ran out of time to make a proper map - I wanted to recreate some encounters from Unreal, but it seems the task of converting the model and coding the whole AI routines from scratch was time-consuming enough. So it ended up being basically a showcase for other modders to pick up and put into their own projects - or even adapt other Unreal monsters, as the base AI stuff is more or less laid out already.
